Nuits St Georges Clos de la Maréchale, Domaine Mugnier 2022

Deeper denser colour than the Chambolle. This is somewhat headier also, darker fruit, perhaps a little higher in alcohol, black cherries, slightly dry tannins, though not exaggerated. Good grip but less fluid than the exquisite village Chambolle. Drink from 2030-2037.

Cask sample. Deeper hue. Very attractive and vibrant with intriguing aromas of mint on the nose. Lots of freshness on show, together with beautifully ripe dark-berry and cherry notes. Oak adds more weight and structure in the background. Overall this has lovely balance and complexity. Fairly priced for the quality. Drinking window: 2026-2034
